and yet i hold on . . .

and yet i hold on . . .

why did you leave
why did you have to go from here
it seems not quite fair
yes, i remember
and yet i hold on . . .

i remember how i played in your hair
i was the consummate child
immersed in your smile
yes, i remember
and yet i hold on . . .

the memories of your scent lingers
dancing with certain constancy
bring forth illusions that you are still here
here with me
holding me with your breath of love
yes, i remember
and yet i hold on

i know i am a bit deluded
for in this temporal existence i believe
yes, i do believe
that i will see you again
perhaps only in the eyes of my soul
yes, i remember
and yet i hold on


i shun close attachment
for i am still one with you
still loneliness pervades my peace
without cease
and the rest is intermittent at best
yes, i remember
and yet i hold on

i often think of just the beautiful things
that for which my soul sings
are they my imaginings
or are they the magic
that allows me to escape
yes, i remember
and yet i hold on

i remember these moments
our first dance
our first kiss
our first glance
our first chance
and the magic . . . perchance
yes, i remember
and yet i hold on

yes, i remember
and yet i hold on
